Artist: Drake Album: Thank Me Later Song: Thank Me Now Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Intro: Drake] You could thank me now, uh, go 'head Thank me later, yeah I know what I said But later doesn't always come so instead It's o-okay, you could thank me now Uhh, yeah, well alright Here I go... uhh [Drake] Mahalo from the hardest act to follow Lately I've been drinkin like there's a message in a bottle Aloha's to women with no ties to men that I know well, that way there are no lies You could thank me now for all the info, I give to you niggaz I'm on the brink of influential, I'm here for you niggaz I guess a hit doesn't add up to a career for you niggaz I must've been hard to watch, what a year for you niggaz It's December 31st and we in Miami just meditatin You got your resolutions, we just got reservations Livin out a dream, it feels like I stayed up And we just wanna party, Pat-ron straight up Fuck that old shit, I'm on new things O.V.O. clique, Red Wing boot gang Yeah, we want it all, half was never the agreement Who'da thought the route we chosen would ever end up this scenic? I could relate to kids goin straight to the league When they recognize that you got what it takes to succeed And that's around the time that your idols become your rivals You make friends with Mike but gotta A.I. him for your survival Damn, I swear sports and music are so synonymous Cause we wanna be them, and they wanna be us Yeah, so on behalf of the demanded And the entertainment that you take for granted Y-you, could thank me now, and oh my goodness you're welcome You're welcome; at this point me is who I am tryin to save myself from Rappers hit me up and I never know what to tell them Cause they think that I can help them, get back to where they fell from But drink up, cause everyone here is good tonight Except the niggaz that I came with, they good for life Yeah, that's how you know it's goin down In case another chance never comes around [Chorus: Drake] Y-you could thank me now, uh, go 'head Thank me later, yeah I know what I said But later doesn't always come so instead It's o-okay, you could thank me now {*harmonizing*} [Drake] Uhh, shallow nigga but deep enough to have gone swimmin I think I'm spendin all my time with the wrong women I think I have a chance at love and knowin me I miss it Cause me dedicatin my time just isn't realistic Man, the good girls went silent on me They got a boyfriend, or left for college on me And all the bad ones I used to hit are friends now That make me wish I had a little less mileage on me But do I ever come up in discussion over double-pump lattes and low-fat muffins? Do I? Or is missin what we had out of the question? I'm probably just the reason that you learned your lesson I got flows for the Marilyn Monroes who was there before it all, I guess that's how it goes They hear about your cons, but focus on your pros And love you for who you are from the bottom of they soul But those same ones from your area will grow into women that are ready to get married at hello because of what they allow, where are they all now? I know they're somewhere watchin so I'm tryin to make 'em proud Searchin for the meanin, you'll find it next to me They tell me I'm the hottest, guess we finally get to see I'm feelin like Nas, who am I to disagree? They say the doors'll open up soon as you find the missin key It's probably why I'm in this bitch shinin Jump up in the sky and put the stars into alignment I rep the ATF in case you need to be reminded And the bandwagon's full but you can try and run behind it I'm sorry; poolside drinkin, margarita rounds Shoutout to my city though, I hardly be in town I'm the +Black Sheep+ but Chris Farley wears the crown And I know life is just a game in which the cards are facin down I'm in a world where things are taken, never given How long they choose to love you will never be your decision And I'm aware that this could be the last time you listen So while I'm still here in this position [Chorus] [Drake] It's o-okay! {*echoes*}
